 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

O the walls are closin' in I can feel it in my bones
Like water risin' up to my chin
Another long night to be alone
I could go out on the town
Talk too much and laugh too loud
If I'm already on my way down
I might as well just work the crowd

Can you hear me now
O the stories I could tell 
Sometimes I really hit my stride 
We make our own Heaven and our own Hell
Tryin' to get across to the other side 
But everyday ends up the same 
One step up, two steps back 
Like some old silent movie frame 
Zoom in close, then fade to black

Can you hear me now
How did the load get to be
so heavy I used to wear my trouble like a crown 
A bad flood's poundin' on the levee
And I'm gonna need some help 
To hold my ground

But I'm sinkin' like a stone
To where in solitude this life I'll spend
In the coldest place I've ever known 
I'm here just waitin' until the end I send up my S.O.S. 
A message in a bottle set out to sea It just reads
